This was our second visit to Floriana and it was was totally different from our first visit. Our first visitor was flawless and we had enjoyed it very much. This time, my salad had to be sent back because they made the wrong one - then my main course had to be be returned for the same reason. Once I received the correct main course, it was still cold on the interior. The waitress was kind enough to take my order off the check. Once we did receive the check we had needed it to be split. They split it but mixed the bills and charged them wrong. I don’t know if it they were short staffed and just rushing to get things done or maybe they had some new people working- or it could have been a mixture ?? We do enjoy their food and we will most likely try them again.

In general the food was very good. The vegetable risotto was salty but the Sunday Gravy was exceptional. The Tortelloni Mignon sauce overpowered any hint of meat flavor and the Scallop Shrimp Risotto was very good. The service was disappointing. Our server seemed to be adverse to removing dishes that we cleared to the side or refilling coffee and water. He was not attentive in the least which takes little skill. For the price, we don’t see the value with this experience.

Amazing experience! The dishes were absolutely superb in terms of highest quality ingredients, excellent flavor, perfect texture and fantastic sauces! The gnocchi with rock shrimp and lobster cream, the duck gnocchi and the squid ink pasta were all next level dishes! And the price was very reasonable for such world class dishes!

The restaurant offered stunning views! The value was exceptional. Unfortunately, the food was over-salted and I had the ravioli, which was overwhelmingly lemon-flavored.
